"Teacher Liu, the patient and family chose PTCD. They are also worried that further drainage might be needed, which would be tough."
After a while, Su Wenhao came over.
"Has the MRI film come out?" Liu Banxia asked.
"It has, but like the CT, it shows a clear mass, and we can't rule out the possibility of bile duct cancer," Su Wenhao replied.
"I also explained this situation to the patient's wife, and she's currently calling the children to come over. We still need to wait for the marker screening, should we consider doing the drainage first?"
"Alright, go ahead and prepare, I'll be over in a moment," Liu Banxia nodded.
For this patient, the likelihood of bile duct cancer is already very high. After all, the two main causes of bile duct obstruction are stones and tumors.
Neither ultrasound, CT, nor MRI has found stones, so what's left but a tumor?
